-----------------------------------------
Jira isn't letting me download these patches (I'm seeing a weird jira error
screen). I can download from other tickets though. Would you mind deleting
and re-uploading?
> Expose byte[] row keys in client APIs

> Key: CASSANDRA-953
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-953
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Stu Hood
> Assignee: Stu Hood
> Fix For: 0.7
>
> Attachments:
> 0001-byte-for-decorateKey-and-getToken-in-IPartitioner.patch,
> 0002-Convert-Thrift-to-byte-keys.patch,
> 0003-Add-ByteOrderedPartitioner.patch,
> 0004-Convert-to-hex-encoded-keys-in-sstable-import-export.patch

> Once 767 lands, row keys will be stored as bytes internally, and the
> partitioner will decide whether to interpret the bytes. We can then expose
> the byte[] keys to client APIs.
> One key issue to settle is whether we should support both keys and bytes for
> the 0.7 release, or if we should make 0.7 a fully breaking release. The main
> problem with supporting both key types is that I don't think Thrift supports
> method overloading, so all of the methods would need to change names.
